Jordan Stream Path is a short, easy walk in Acadia National Park on the Maine coast, managed by the National Park Service. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about a mile, with a total climb of 209 feet. The high point is around 124 feet, and the path is rated easy, so it works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading to other trails nearby. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run about 79°F for highs and 60°F for lows, while September cools to highs near 71°F. That station sits about 350 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the path tend to run a little cooler. The walk takes about half an hour, and the trailhead is within about half a mile of several other routes. The David & Neva Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and the Harbor Brook Trail and Amphitheatre Trail are each about 0.5 miles off. Climbers can find Upper Slab and Upper Wall roughly 1.7 miles away.
